My biggest motivator at 53 is to try and stay healthy and try and keep everything from falling apart as I age

My biggest milestone was hit at 28, when I set at 18 a goal of going from a skinney 6'3 at around 174 to a target weight of 250 lbs at under 12%bf.

Along the way I also hit several milestone targets as to my chest, arms and quads.
I wanted a chest over 50 inches, arms over 18 inches and quads over 28 inches.

If memory serves, working out from 4-6 days a week for 1.5- 2 hours a workout for ten years ( this was back in the 70's and early 80's during the high volume Arnold training era), I built my chest from around 42 inches into around 54 inches , my arms from around 14 and half inches into 18 and a half inches and 22 inch quads into 28 inch quads.

Wow! How much of that size do you still currently hold?

28" quads would be awesome! Mine have never been bigger than 25"

I hope you are doing well recently considering what has been going on...

NICE MAN!!!

I hope i am as strong and still in as good of shape as you are when i hit 53..only 13 years till i get there!!!

For those hammer curls with a twist at the top, im guessing thats a supination in order to burn out the forearm and biceps?

I do them that way because it turns a move like a standard hammer curl that mostly hits the Brachioradialis in the forearm into a combo one that hits the Brachioradialis , the Brachialis and the Lateral biceps hard as well.

Place the fingers of your left hand on top of your right Biceps and do a right arm standard hammer curl with your thumb on top.

Then do another hammer curl except this time except supinate the move and squeeze at the top of the ROM.
